We believe that no other county in the
state can boast of greater enthusiasm and
interest in association work amlalg its
teachers than Pierce county. The work
is opening up in excellent shape this fall.
A move is ON foot to have an association
at Hager City and invite Minnesota
teachers to participate. We look for the
consumation of this plan in the near flu
ture. Those teachers who do not get in
to the associations or feel disposed to
sneer at their usefulness invariably get
left behind and eventually go to increase
the ranks of rut-teachers. An active
teacher in an association is always an en-
thusiastic and wide awake teacher in the
school-room. We believe only one gen.
eral criticism can be made ON the associa-
ton work this fall and that is allowing
too great a margin for failures to present
topics assigned. At the last association,
at Esdaile, every one whose name APP
peared ON the program was there and
performed the duty assigned him. This
made the exercises little too long. We
believe the time is past when we must
provide for failures by counting on them
when making up the program. We also
believe that the association work can be
made more profitable by taking only
two subjects per day-one in the fore
noon and one in the afternoon. By do
ing this, different phases of the same top
ic can be presented by different members
of the association thus securing a more
systematic and thorough discussion OF
the subject. Teachers will find greatly
increased facilities for benefit as they
can the more easily remember the good
points in the discussion of two subjects
than when so many are discussed. 1t il
what we carry away with us that really
benefits the schools which we instruct.

Do not try to solve all your educational
problems alone All the teachers of the
country have similar problems to solve.
Find out what others are doing: you
have a right to use the experience, and
to draw from the common treasury.
Take, at least, three educational papers;
one from the South, one from the North
and one from the West. The cost is
small. The benefit may be great.-iSupt.
